"The love that came through for me this weekend was given space by your gentle guidance, your own vulnerability, your conscious facilitation, and your modeling of loving-kindness."

Who Attends Our Retreats?
Although focused on supporting therapists and medical professionals who are patiently waiting to get into Internal Family Systems (IFS) Trainings through the IFS Institute - so as to offer participants an experiential understanding of this transformative approach - these retreats are also open to the general public.
Therapists, medical providers, coaches, managers / CEO's, caregivers, parents and educators are all welcome and encouraged to attend. The retreats are designed to offer an opportunity to rest, rejuvenate and reconnect with one's inner life. Retreats are immersive experiences with the IFS model, while Courses offer introductory training of the IFS model.
What's the Difference Between a Retreat and a Course?
One of the main differences between a Retreat and a Course is that a Retreat will be more experiential in nature, less didactic and will NOT offer CE’s for licensure. Courses are designed for training purposes, they include both didactic and experiential activities, and you might be eligible to get CE’s towards licensure when you take a training course. Retreats are designed to enhance your life, support your personal growth and promote well-being. That being said, engaging in experiential activities and getting more familiar with your own internal system is a wonderful way to learn the IFS model and continue to deepen your proficiency with it. So there is tremendous professional benefit from attending a retreat, even though it is not a professional training course..
Please note that the retreats offered by Mindful Child & Family Therapy staff are non-healthcare events, so no healthcare records will be kept and there will be no Protected Health Information.
